The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) distributed shopping vouchers on Thursday, enabling beneficiaries to purchase winter clothing of their choice from authorized stores in the Amman and Madaba governorates in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
A total of 1,055 individuals, representing 191 Palestinian refugee families, benefited from this distribution as part of the third phase of the Winter Clothing Distribution Project (Kanaf) for the year 2025, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.
In Lebanon, KSrelief has continued the fourth phase of the Al-Amal Charity Bakery project in Akkar Governorate and Miniyeh District.
Last week, the initiative distributed 175,000 bags of bread to Syrian, Palestinian, and host community families across northern Lebanon, benefiting 12,500 households, which represent 62,500 individuals.
These efforts are part of the Kingdom’s ongoing relief and humanitarian initiatives, delivered through its humanitarian arm, KSrelief, to assist those in need and affected populations, especially during the harsh winter cold wave.

UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan discussed bolstering "brotherly" ties with Syria during the first official visit by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani to the United Arab Emirates on Monday, Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

The two ministers also discussed the overall developments in Syria since former President Bashar al-Assad was ousted by opposition factions on Dec. 8.

The UAE's foreign minister reiterated the country's support for Syria's independence and sovereignty, WAM added.

Syria's Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, head of intelligence Anas Khattab and the UAE's minister of state for defense affairs, Mohammed Fadel al-Mazrouei, also attended the meeting.

The UAE is part of Shibani's second foreign tour, which earlier took him to Qatar and will also include a visit to Jordan. He said the visits aim to "support stability, security, economic recovery and build distinguished partnerships", according to his account on X.

Shibani made his first foreign trip to Saudi Arabia last week, where Saudi officials discussed how best to support Syria's political transition.
